How do I solve for x in an equation and round the answer to 2 decimal places?

To solve for x in an equation, you typically want to isolate x on one side of the equation. Let’s say we have a simple linear equation:

Example: 2x + 3 = 11

Here’s how you would solve it:

1. Subtract 3 from both sides:
   2x + 3 – 3 = 11 – 3
   This simplifies to 2x = 8.
2. Next, divide both sides by 2:
   2x / 2 = 8 / 2
   This gives us x = 4.

Now, since the question asks to round the answer to 2 decimal places, we look at our answer:

x = 4.00

In this case, rounding 4 to two decimal places gives us 4.00.

So, the rounded answer is:

x = 4.00

To summarize, always isolate x by using inverse operations and remember to apply rounding as needed at the end of your calculations!
